HaiPick A42T Review: Specs and Uses of the 12 m Telescopic Case-Handling Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The HaiPick A42T is a telescopic-lift case-handling robot from Hai Robotics that picks at heights of up to 12 m. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its capabilities, options and uses.
Quick Verdict
The A42T takes the idea of the A42 and doubles its reach. A telescopic mast extends to 12 m, so the robot can serve shelving that fills a high-bay building while still driving under mezzanines and doors when retracted. Hai states that this adds up to 100% storage density over the regular A42. It carries up to nine cases of 30 kg each. The page's short description mentions 10 m while the body states 12 m; buyers should confirm the figure for their configuration. Travel speed and battery data are not given.

Design and Options
The robot has the same layout as the A42, a mobile base with a lifting fork and a stack of trays, with a mast that extends in stages. Three options are offered. A double-deep fork reaches a second row of cases and cuts aisle area by 50%. 3D visual recognition allows picking of cartons and containers that carry no readable barcode. A flexible-width fork recognizes case size and uses the gaps between cases, which Hai says raises storage density by more than 30%. Height and colour can be customized.
